And what is your problem?

All you have stated is what you are doing, not what the issue is.
I assume it is not working, but have you tried to identify what error is being thrown? I would suggest looking in a web browsers development tools to try and catch it. In IE these can be accessed by pressing F12 or from the tools menu I believe. In Chrome they can be accessed with Ctrl+Shift+I

all works fine in IE...
but not in firefox....

Then check the firefox developer tools and see if an error is being thrown. I don't know anything about the firefox ones, but both Chrome and IE allow you to debug jquery so that might be possible and allow you to identify what is going on.

I noticed an issue with this function, I don't know if it is causing your problem or not thought:

JavaScript

function ReadFile()
{
//some code
var data= read(fileName)
alert(data);
}

You have missed the ; off of the end of this line: "var data= read(fileName)"
